This novel follows Winifred Notty, a governess at Ensor House, who faces the unsettling behavior of the Pounds family. As she endures their perversions & her own violent urges, she plans to deliver “special gifts” to the family at Christmas, suggesting a dark & twisted conclusion.
This was a fun & wild ride. Quick read with short chapters, it'll keep you flipping the pages to see what absurd (and sometimes grotesque) thing Miss Notty does next. There were a couple WTF moments, ones that had me reread the page to make sure I was properly understanding what I had just read. This is a psychological horror that is perfect for readers who enjoy darkly funny thrillers with creepy, offbeat characters & a twisted Victorian setting.
